Has it been treated with flame retardant?

I don't know but I remember buying this brand because it was the most non-toxic I could find. I don't think they smelled at all when I got them. I love them. Good luck!

I really don't know if it is treated with chemicals, perhaps that is a question for the manufacturer?

Don't use heat treatments on it. I tested a small, inner piece with a flat iron and it got totally fried!

I cannot technically answer that, but I will tell you my five-year-old grandson took a barbeque lighter and tried to set it on fire in two spots. Thankfully, it only smoldered and made two holes (not all the way through) in the fabric, so I would guess it fortunately has some flame retardant.

Yes, I had that burning smell as well. And some sparking as well. It is not normal and very dangerous. I stopped use it and thrown out it.

Not really, but the coating will discolor and melt off. I would advise against using this on something exposed to flame. At the least it would be a waste of effort putting the coat on.

As far as I know. Yes. Mine is fire retardant and the description on this product says it is fire retardant. I love the product. I use it for my little dog to keep her from falling out of bed.

No! I don't believe so... From what I have read the company uses permanently bonded silica (think sand or glass) instead of conventional chemicals. The information used to be on their website, might still be.

Hi Janice- they changed the law so that flame retardants are no longer required to be added to changing pads. The outer cover does retard burning, and the inner cushion remains flame retardant free.

I don't recall seeing any mention of flame retardants being applied to the foam.

Fire retardants are so commonly used in furnishings that I'd suggest asking the manufacturer to be sure. If chemicals are present, with more and more people concerned about chemical exposure, they may not note it on the packaging lest it reduce sales. I subsequently found this answer in this thread: "I emailed Luna, who responded with this quote 'Our protectors are not treated with anything at all.'"

yes. it will go away. wash gently with soapy water and dry. it will burn off after use.

I have this same tent in the Carolini version and contacted HABA before buying. Their tents do NOT have flame retardants in them, but are intrinsically retardant by nature of the construction of the fabric (polyester)--meaning, they do not add flame retardant chemicals like most other children's play tent companies do. (This tent had absolutely no funky odor upon opening.) Higher priced than others, but worth the extra investment in my child's health and well-being. These tents are high-quality, sturdily constructed, safe, beautiful and will last a lifetime.

No, it does not contain a flame retardant. A mattress company that uses talalay latex does not recommend using a natural foam mattress topper because it's so flammable: "...you might as well put gasoline on the top of your mattress..." (My research shows that P. Thornton is correct in saying that polyurethane is extremely flammable, as is memory foam, but I believe the statement that natural Latex is not flammable is incorrect.) When used in the interior of a mattress and surrounded by wool or natural cotton, natural latex is much less likely to burn. However, if you smoke in bed or have lit candles on the nightstand, it would NOT be a good idea to use a talalay topper. On the other hand, if you don't smoke in bed and keep lit candles a safe distance from the bed, by all means use natural latex as a topper.

Tasha, I also cannot confirm if the blanket has been treated. I can say it is the best blanket I have ever had. It had no odor and was very soft and comfortable straight from the package. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

Not that we know of. We use it well over a year old at Lake Powell and never sunburn.
